KrankinSox 1,303 Posted June 23 What is considered not acceptable content for SLaM? The forum description says: "Tired of talking baseball? Not in the mood to hear about the Bears losing another game? Then come in here to talk about whatever the heck you want. From politics to carpet samples, this is the place for your non-sporting needs. But be sure to bring your thick skin." Is politics taboo? I created a thread about the 2022 midterms. All conversation in the thread was friendly and on-topic. Why did this thread get locked? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heads22 3,384 Posted June 24 That probably should be edited, tbh. Politics/filibuster went away since it became so toxic. Should be made clearer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As if Pale Hose Talk isn't toxic. Have you read a game thread? Bring back political talk. Too much mod overreach imo. We're all big boys and girls here.

There are other forums outside of Soxtalk for political talk, you can find them I'm sure 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It used to be SLaP (Sex, Lies, and Politics) back in the day, but was changed when "The Filibuster" opened up. This is mainly a baseball forum, I'm fine with having politics as little as possible here. Everyone has their own opinions and views, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having seen the worst of the filibuster you couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Again, sorry for the "overreach" but you will have to find that discussion elsewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Soon there will be something else for everyone else to yell at eachother about. Anyway, I'll respect the board rules and leave it at that. Go sox.
